A Homeland Security lawyer who forged documents in a deportation case was sentenced to one month in prison.
Jonathan Love, a former assistant chief counsel, admitted he made a document appear that a Mexican man was ineligible for deportation relief, the ABA Journal reports.
Love, 58, pleaded guilty to deprivation of rights under the color of the law.
Love said he has no idea why he doctored the document.
“Why did I do this? If I truly knew, I would not be standing here in front of you,” Love wrote in a letter to his sentencing magistrate judge. “It was stupid and unnecessary, and the consequences of my actions have tarnished my hard work and dedication to public service for the last 30 years.”
